CCAI Annual Report 2016

CELEBRATING
ANNUAL
YEARS
2016
REPORT
Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute

A MESSAGE FROM OUR
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Fifteen years ago, the Members of
Congress and staff who worked to
create the Congressional Coalition
on Adoption Institute (CCAI) were
inspired by a brilliant idea–to give
voice to the children, youth and
families being impacted by child
welfare policy on Capitol Hill, and to
give Members of Congress access
to these experts and their real-life
experiences so every child can know
the love and support of a family.
It is an incredible privilege to
steward that idea as CCAI’s
five core programs continue to
impact new Members of Congress,
congressional staffers, and far
beyond Capitol Hill. In this Annual
Report, we share CCAI’s 2016
accomplishments, historic highlights
and program growth over the years
since our inception.
how the program prepared them for
their current careers. We also share
the Rowes’ Angels in Adoption®
experience, and how it inspired their
family to do even more great work!
And we are thrilled to spotlight Kellie,
Eugenia, Sharon and Greg and the
many ways they support our mission.
It is overwhelming to think of the
investments over the past fifteen
years from each of our CCAI
staff, Board and Advisory Council
members, donors, congressional
champions and staffers, and our
program alumni and volunteers.
Together we have shared in building
the vision of giving children, youth
and families access to the halls of the
United States Congress. In 2016, CCAI
continued to be the trusted resource
Capitol Hill depends on because of
this grand collaboration.
I hope you enjoy reading about
the newest addition to the line of
congressional champions in our CCA
Co-Chairs, as well as learning from
Kasey, Mitsu, Angelique and Jason–all
Foster Youth Intern alumni–about
I hope you enjoy reading our Annual
Report in celebration of CCAI’s
fifteenth anniversary, and I invite you
to share it with others who will join
us in the vision for the next fifteen
years and beyond.

OUR STORY
CELEBRATING 15 YEARS OF IMPACT ON CAPITOL HILL
In 1985, a committed group of Members of Congress discovered
they had a common goal — to live in a world where every child
had a permanent, safe, and loving family to call their own. They
also found that their shared commitment to eliminating the
barriers that hinder children from realizing this basic right to a
family was one that transcended party lines and geographical
borders. Dedicated to making a difference, these members united
to form the Congressional Coalition on Adoption (CCA) caucus.
In 1998, the current CCA caucus leaders hired a full-time fellow,
Kerry Marks Hasenbalg, to work in the U.S. Senate to carry out
the important work of the CCA.
In 2001, after identifying the need for more support of the
caucus’ goals and growth, the four CCA co-chairs worked with
Kerry and their staff to create CCAI. Since that time, CCAI has
proudly stewarded the programs handed over to us from the
CCA and has added and enhanced several more programs
and initiatives all designed to engage and educate Members
of Congress and their staff about the real needs of children,
youth and families in child welfare.
CCAI AS A CATALYST ON CAPITOL HILL
Knowledge is powerful. CCAI’s programs are designed to provide
Members of Congress and policymakers the knowledge they
need to use the power they have to make a difference on behalf
of children in need of a loving family.

CONGRESSIONAL
RESOURCE PROGRAM
Year round, the Congressional Resource Program is CCAI’s
primary means of educating federal policymakers on
information critical to adoption and child welfare policy—
both domestic and international. We serve as a resource to the
Congressional Coalition on Adoption, the largest bi-cameral, bipartisan
caucus in the U.S. Congress.
Just a few of the highlights from 2016 include:
• The Congressional Coalition on Adoption grew by 52 members,
reaching a total of 174 members and resulting in more Members
of Congress using their collective voice to protect children.
• CCAI welcomed a new Congressional Coalition on Adoption
Co-Chair: U.S. Representative Brenda L. Lawrence (D-MI), a
strong advocate for children.
• CCAI worked with countless congressional offices to provide
information on child welfare and adoption legislation, including
significant reform bills like the Family First Prevention Services Act,
Vulnerable Children and Families Act and Adoptee Citizenship Act.
• In partnership with the U.S. Senate Caucus on Foster Youth
and Fostering Media Connections, CCAI hosted the widely
attended National Foster Care Month congressional briefing:
Recruiting Top-Notch Caregivers and Foster Parents as a
Pathway to Permanency.
• CCAI presented on the ABCs of Advocating to Congress at
various annual conferences.
• CCAI partnered with the U.S. Department of State and
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to host regular
congressional briefings on intercountry adoption.

CCAI SPOTLIGHT
“The Congressional Coalition on Adoption
Institute is an incredible resource for Members of
Congress and staff to engage on issues of child
welfare, adoption and the foster care system.
Events through their Congressional Resource
Program, Angels in Adoption® Program, and
Foster Youth Internship Program® create spaces
for key stakeholders to participate in productive
policy discussions, provide legislative analysis,
and advocate for some of our country’s most
vulnerable children.”
– U.S. Representative Brenda L. Lawrence (D-MI)
Congressional Coalition on Adoption Co-Chair

With over 400,000 children and youth currently in U.S.
foster care, the most important element of the Foster Youth
Internship Program® is providing opportunities for Members
of Congress to hear the firsthand experiences of current and
former foster youth. Through generous investors, CCAI’s
sponsor-an-intern model allows us to bring 12 extraordinary
young professionals—all of whom have experienced foster
care—to Washington, D.C., for a nine-week internship. Our
holistic program provides a prestigious congressional
internship placement in some of the most influential
offices and committees on Capitol Hill, as well as housing,
transportation and therapeutic services.
The program gives former foster youth a voice and platform
on Capitol Hill—through their congressional internships and
through their published policy reports, which are presented at a
congressional briefing to both the U.S. Congress and the White
House. This year’s interns also discussed their policy ideas with
Members of Congress, including U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley
(R-IA), U.S. Senator Corey Booker (D-NJ), Chairman Kevin
Brady (R-TX), U.S. Representative Karen Bass (D-
CA), and Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA).
The Foster Youth Internship Program®
is a powerful way to recognize foster
youth and has a lasting impact on our
nation’s foster care policies.

KASEY OLIVER
2006 INTERN FOR
U.S. SENATOR TIM JOHNSON (D-SD)
I am an attorney and the managing partner of the
law firm Heidepriem, Purtell, Siegel & Olivier, LLP,
in South Dakota. I practice in all areas of litigation. I
decided to go to law school after the FYI Program.
Spending time with other foster youth helped me
understand that I needed to give back through my
legal career and help other children going through
the same things I experienced in foster care.
MITSU KLINES
2011 INTERN FOR
U.S. SENATOR MARY LANDRIEU (D-LA)
For more than three years I have worked at The Alliance for
Children’s Rights NextStep Program as an Administrative
Legal Assistant. The NextStep Program assists 16–24
year olds with legal and transition issues. It was the FYI
Program that helped me understand what I wanted to do
in life, which is work to improve the foster care system. The
program also helped me develop skills such as researching,
writing reports, and conducting presentations, all of which
are skills I regularly use in my career.
EMPOWERING DREAMS
ANGELIQUE SALIZAN
2015 INTERN FOR THE U.S. SENATE
MINORITY FINANCE COMMITTEE
Shortly after my FYI Program internship ended, I began
working in Senator Debbie Stabenow’s office as a staff
assistant. A year and a half after that, I became a legislative
correspondent for Senator Sherrod Brown. Honestly, if I did
not take part in the FYI Program, I am not sure I would have
ended up where I am right now. I applied to this internship
immediately after I graduated from undergrad, and I am
beyond grateful that I took that chance. The program has
opened doors for me that I didn’t know existed.
JASON MORIN
2016 INTERN FOR THE U.S. SENATE
MAJORITY FINANCE COMMITTEE
I am starting my second year of law school at the Florida
International University College of Law. The experiences,
connections, and publication of my policy report during
the FYI Program added a degree of legitimacy to my
advocacy for child welfare reform that is unavailable by
any other internship opportunities. Since the program’s
end, I have been contacted by and collaborated on
projects with other organizations interested in the
research that was published in my policy report.

What started as a congressional awards ceremony in
1999 has now grown into a three-day national leadership
development program featuring dynamic speakers,
insightful panel discussions with child welfare experts
and policymakers, and great networking opportunities.
The 2016 Angels in Adoption® Program honored 130
individuals, families, and organizations united in one
vision to see every child in a loving family. With 112,000
children waiting to be adopted in the U.S. foster care
system and at least eight million orphans worldwide,
the Angels in Adoption® Program exists to honor those
who have stepped forward to make a difference in
the lives of children in need of a family. The program
includes a tour of our nation’s capital, a congressional
breakfast and luncheon, a legislative seminar, and a
Hill Day with nearly 70 meetings with congressional
offices. On the final evening, 700 people gathered at
the Angels in Adoption® Gala to celebrate these 130
hometown heroes and to honor the NFL’s Minnesota
Vikings and musician Jimmy Wayne for their incredible
efforts to promote adoption. Previous national honorees
Dr. Jennifer Arnold and Bill Klein of TLC’s The Little
Couple returned to emcee the evening. The program
also featured U.S. Senators Roy Blunt (R-MO) and Amy
Klobuchar (D-MN) and U.S. Representative Brenda L.
Lawrence (D-MI), as well as a musical performance by
the Grammy Award–winning Jars of Clay.

THE ROWE FAMILY’S ANGELS IN ADOPTION ® JOURNEY
“Receiving this recognition was unquestionably the highest honor we’ve had in our
foster and adoption journey. We were quite humbled to sit among so many people
who also make sacrifices and contributions.” - Jim and Becky Rowe
DAY 01
ADOPTION ADVOCACY FAIR,
WASHINGTON, D.C., BUS TOUR,
AND ICE CREAM SOCIAL
The Rowe Family attends the Advocacy Fair
to network with 16 national and regional
organizations. Next, they experience Washington,
D.C., through a guided bus tour and U.S. Capitol
tour with fellow Angel honorees. The day ends with
an ice cream social and lots of fun for the kids.
DAY 03
DAY 02
CONGRESSIONAL
BREAKFAST AND LUNCHEON
Honorees like the Rowes are recognized at either a
U.S. Senate Breakfast or U.S. Representative Luncheon.
Members of Congress congratulate each Angel honoree
for their adoption and foster care work, and each honoree
receive a signature Angels in Adoption® pin, certificate and
letter signed by their Member of Congress.
HILL DAY
Today the Rowe Family has the opportunity
to meet with three Members of Congress,
including U.S. Senator Deb Fischer from their
home state, Nebraska. During Hill Day, the
Rowes are able to share their experiences
directly with federal legislators. These
meetings are as memorable for the Members
of Congress as they are for the honorees.
GALA
Thanks to generous CCAI donors, the Rowes
are given complimentary tickets to attend
the signature Angels in Adoption® Gala.
The Gala is one of Washington, D.C.’s most
inspiring events this is an unforgettable
evening that celebrates the work of the
Rowes and all the Angels honorees.
SINCE ANGELS IN ADOPTION ®
The Rowe’s credit the 2016 Angels in Adoption® events for inspiring them to do even more to share
their story and to reach out to as many children in need as possible. They began a local donation
drive to collect clothes, backpacks and bags to distribute to children in the Omaha foster care
system. A few months later, they adopted three siblings and continue to be foster parents.

20/20 VISION PROGRAM
Congressional Delegation to Haiti
CCAI’s 20/20 Vision Program is a congressional delegation program
designed to provide a high-impact, intensive child welfare training for
influencers. Based on a public-private partnership model for Members
of Congress, foreign and domestic government officials and privatesector
leaders, CCAI’s delegations allow these leaders to meet
experts, study systems of care, visit best-practice programs and
identify gaps in capacity—all in order to better serve children in
need of families.
In the summer of 2016, CCAI returned to Haiti on a 20/20 Vision
Program Delegation led by Congressional Coalition on Adoption Co-
Chair, U.S. Representative Trent Franks (R-AZ). Participants included U.S.
Representative Robert Aderholt (R-AL), Assistant Secretary of State Michele
Bond, CCAI Board of Director Susan Neely and Advisory Council Member
Jelani Freeman. Medical and best-practice expertise were provided to the
delegates by Dr. Dana Johnson (University of Minnesota), Georgette
Mulheir (Lumos Foundation) and Bethany Christian Services.
The delegation met with officials from Haiti’s Institute of
Social Welfare and Research, the U.S. Embassy, USAID,
and UNICEF to identify needs and opportunities for
collaboration. Our goal was to better understand the
needs of Haitian children who are not in families
and also the solutions offered through programs,
systems and policies that support family care
for these children. The delegation trip was an
unforgettable experience and has motivated
delegation members to hold discussions, since
returning to the U.S., about ways to strengthen
Haiti’s vulnerable children and families.

SUSAN NEELY
CCAI Board of Directors
President, American Beverage Association
Why is the CCAI 20/20 Vision Program important?
The CCAI 20/20 Vision Program creates powerful
opportunities to learn about problems and solutions to
children’s welfare in the developing world and inside the U.S.
CCAI’s Congressional Delegations are notorious on Capitol Hill
as the best-in-class; convening policymakers and international
experts to hear, see and feel what’s really working to help children
in need of families.
What did you learn from traveling to Haiti with the CCAI 20/20
Vision Program delegation trip?
I learned that there is no one-size-fits-all way to help children
find a loving family. On the trip to Haiti, we saw firsthand how
adoption, foster care and family reunification were all effective
strategies, depending on the circumstances of the child. Job
training programs to help parents learn employable skills are
also keeping families together and preventing poverty-related
orphanage entry.
How did the delegation help to reinforce your belief that every
child deserves a loving family?
Even in the midst of breathtaking poverty and devastation,
the children are the hope and promise for a better future, and
permanent family care is the optimal setting where children thrive.
CCAI SPOTLIGHT

NATIONAL ADOPTION DAY MAKES
A SPLASH ON SOCIAL MEDIA
Thousands of kids across the country are searching
for a forever family. Join me in spreading the joys
of adoption on #NatlAdoptionDay.
Since 2000, National Adoption Day is a celebration of foster
care adoption across all 50 states. What began in one Los
Angeles courtroom to address a backlog of adoption cases
has developed into 4,665 adoptions in 407 cities across
the nation in 2016. CCAI’s role continues to be enlisting the
support of Members of Congress and Governors to promote
the importance of a loving family. In recent years, CCAI’s
national engagement has expanded to include various
celebrities and NFL teams dedicated to raising awareness
about foster care and adoption on this special day.
@Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA)
Happy #natladoptionday & thank you to the
many ND families who open their hearts and
homes to kids. #adoptiongives
@Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND)
There are more than 100,000 children in U.S. foster
care available for adoption. #NationalAdoptionDay
@Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX)
In 2016, over 80 elected officials wrote op-eds, gave floor
speeches, issued press releases and posted on social media,
and both the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions
promoted foster care adoption on-field during
their November 20th home games. Judge
Winkler of Ohio opened his courtroom
and filmed the story of National Adoption
Day inside, in a video released by CCAI.
This year’s outpouring of support for
National Adoption Day and for the
estimated 65,000 children and
youth who have left foster
care and joined permanent
families on National
Adoption Day is worthy of
great celebration.
I was blessed to grow up in a home with foster
siblings. This National Adoption Day, consider
opening up your home and your heart. Thanks to
Adoption Rhode Island and all of the advocates
who are committed to finding forever homes for
all children in need! #NatlAdoptionDay
Rep. Jim Langevin (D-RI)
Adoption creates a forever family. Help me raise
awareness for children in Michigan, who are in
need of a loving family on National Adoption
Day, November 19! Visit nationaladoptionday.

It is a blessing to see that adoption can be the light at the
end of the often-dark tunnel. I fully support the Angels in
Adoption® Program in its unremitting efforts to educate
the public and Congress as well as recognizing individuals,
families and organizations working towards creating better
lives for children. We as a society need to step up to the plate
and help where help is needed. As a former Foster Youth
Intern, CCAI not only shows up and listens but they provide
such care and warmth as we search within.
EUGENIA PIERSON
SENIOR HEALTH POLICY ADVISOR, ARNOLD & PORTER
KAYE SCHOLAR, LLP; CCAI GOLD PARTNER
I was asked to support CCAI by an old friend, but have always
been impressed by the tremendous work of the organization
and its unfailing support of vulnerable children. A&P has a
longstanding commitment to pro bono work, and our whole
team has been honored to support CCAI as lobbyists and
lawyers. CCAI is truly the little engine that could—the depth
and scope of the organization’s programs is nothing short of
spectacular, and the impact CCAI has on young lives is profound.
TRANSFORMING LIVES
DR. SHARON MCDANIEL
FOUNDER, PRESIDENT & CEO, A SECOND CHANCE;
FYI PROGRAM KEYNOTE SPEAKER & DONOR
CCAI provides an opportunity for young adults to “dream
big” and “turn their lemons into lemonade.” Melding policy
with real life stories has been a remarkable way for Congress
to understand the implications of their actions or inactions
that impact the 400,000+ young people who make up
foster care in this country. Having been a foster child myself,
I have been blessed with a platform where I can not only
“pay it forward,” but also, speak on behalf of those who are
yet finding their voices. What an​incredible opportunity!
GREG BUZEK
FOUNDER & PRESIDENT, IHL GROUP; CCAI PAUL SINGER
AWARD HONOREE & FOSTER YOUTH INTERN SPONSOR
As the board at Retail Orphan Initiative saw the Foster
Youth Internship Program more, and as we met alumni
like Demetrius and Angelique, we began to truly
understand the impact this program makes not only
on policy, but literally changing these young people’s
lives. That turned it to a “must do” investment in terms
of sponsoring a Foster Youth Intern.

THANKS TO YOU...
CCAI’s accomplishments in 2016 and the past fifteen years are a testament to the power of your support and our shared vision of
a world where every child knows the love and support of a family. Your contributions empower and elevate the voices of youth,
families and advocates who are daily making a difference in child welfare and adoption. Thank you for your generosity!
